What families say
“Being half Chinese and half Vietnamese American I do resonate with being part of the Asian American community, it was even my major in college (Asian American Studies). I feel very at home being able to come to work and speak Cantonese and relate to Chinese American values and traditions within our work while also being inclusive to all.” — Brian Nguyen, Former Wah Mei Extended Care Staff Member
